James Ibori to be released from prison tomorrow

Former Delta State governor, James Ibori is scheduled to be released from HMP Huntercoombe tomorrow, having served 6.5 years of his 13 year sentence. It’s the end of his sentence in the United Kingdom.
The latest information (last Friday pm) however, appears to be that the UK authorities have applied to have him remanded in custody.

The precise reason has not so far been disclosed by the Ibori defence team in detail, but appears to be related to his immigration status.

The UK Home Office is not releasing any information.
